The NHRC said that none of these problems could be solved by enacting laws that did away with legal safeguards that were designed to prevent innocent persons from being persecuted and punished.\n The author gives a detailed account of the two incidents and the way these helped focus on the political misuse of the Act. In the final and concluding chapter 'POTA and Beyond', Singh holds that the jubilation over repeal of the Act, shrouded other laws that continue to be in operation such as the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA), the Disturbed Areas Act in the North East and the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) that gives unfettered powers to the security forces to shoot at will without any accountability.
